Saturday Superstore: Kelloggs Ricicles

Ricicles Popper Doll Advert - TV Comic, 1972

There were lots of great cereals back in the 1970s and hardly any of them tasted of chocolate - unlike the breakfast cereal of today!

Ricicles always looked appealing to me as a five year old, whenever I visited the supermarket (Asda, just off Dovecot Street in Stockton On Tees) with my Mum. Mainly because they used to give away funny little toys (like The Popper Dolls) and had a picture of Florence and Dougal from the Magic Roundabout on the cereal pack box.

Nevertheless, Ricicles were deemed too expensive - so we didn't get them at our house!
